Mayor of St Ives, Suzanne Tanner talks to myCornwall about her passion for the area and plans for St Ives.
What does your role involve as Mayor?
I chair council meetings, attend meetings with businesses and other organisations, host civic visitors, lead civic processions, act as the face of the council for press interviews, attend events and carry out official openings.
What do you enjoy most about being Mayor?
It is an honour to be elected as Mayor and I take tremendous pride in all I do in the role. I really enjoy meeting new people and attending lots of different events. It is a pleasure and joy to be able to represent St Ives.
How much of your time does it take up?
This can vary, I work full time but so far I have been able to attend functions and meetings, which are mostly in the evenings and weekends. My employers are fully supportive in my role and will support me in any way possible with the time off I need. If I am unable to attend then I would call upon the Deputy Mayor to attend in my place.
What do you love about st ives and what do you think could be changed?

The Buzz About Bude
Whilst October and November might be the start of quieter months for much of Cornwall, it seems that in Bude there is no sign of winding down from the summer hustle and bustle just yet. With art shows in October, plenty of independent shops and pubs open for business, two music festivals taking place in November alone and many more events to fill your diary with, Bude is definitely a place to be enjoyed all year round.

Cornwall - A Hub For Ethical Fashion
Catching on fast to the changes we need to make for our planet, is Cornwall. In the past several years we’ve been banning plastic from our homes and eateries, cleaning our beaches, and there are more refill, waste-free food stations popping up than ever. It’s a trend that’s easy to get behind, but one thing many of us tend to overlook is perhaps one of the biggest contributors to environmental waste of them all: clothing.
Call Of The Forest
It has to be said that Cornwall is probably not best known for its woodlands. In fact, there are many areas, such as Bodmin Moor, that seem almost completely devoid of trees. This scarcity of trees only serves to make the pockets of woodland that we do have even more precious.

The Mayor of Launceston, Margaret Young, talks to myCornwall about her busy role as Mayor and her love and plans for the town.

Angove
AGAIN WE HAVE THE AN PREFIX, THIS TIME FOLLOWED BY GOV, OR MORE CORRECTLY GOF, MEANING ‘SMITH’, AS IN BLACKSMITH.
